SnekStudio
What it is
SnekStudio is a free, open-source VTuber application for Linux and Windows, built with the Godot engine. Its MediaPipe-based tracker handles faces and hands and supports 50 face blendshapes. The 3D workflow accepts VRM avatars, with current support for VRM 0.x; VRM 1.x models may have serious issues. Lip-sync and hand tracking are included. SnekStudio can receive real-time tracking data from other software through VMC. Creators can add self-contained modules written in GDScript or use Godot scenes for extensions. Twitch channel point redeems can trigger actions, and redeem behavior can be extended in GDScript. Builds are listed for Linux x86-64, Linux aarch64, and Windows x86-64. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0. It is described as alpha and in early development, with limited documentation. Support is offered through Discord and Matrix communities, with [email protected] provided. The application is free, with no free trial because the project is already offered as a free plan.
